Bleacher Seats at the Oscars
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Science does not sell tickets to the Oscars. So, if you are not invited there is only one way that you could potentially be a part of the event and close to all of the red carpet action. The Academy holds a random drawing each year that allows winners to sit in the bleacher seats located at the top of the red carpet adjacent to the Kodak Theater.
This timethe entry period for the drawing was between September 14, 2009 through 11:59:59 PM EDT on September 20, 2009, to enter the random drawing for an opportunity to sit in the bleacher seats (up to 4 total), outside the Kodak Theatre at the 82nd Academy Awards on March 7, 2010. In the weeks approaching, Hollywood tours showcase the Kodak theater as preparations begin and “industry buzz” fills the air regarding everything from “winners to be” to the to the red carpets wardrobe.
DWP Light Festival
The the 14th Annual Los Angeles Department of Water and Power Griffith Park Holiday Light Festival is always a sight to see! This magnificent display of lights along a one-mile segment of Crystal Springs Drive has become a holiday tradition that attracts more than half million visitors each year.
This festival symbolizes LADWP’s proud history and shared legacy of service to the people of the city. It is also made possible through the generous support of the Los Angeles Visitors and Convention Bureau (LA Inc.), the Los Angeles Department of Transportation, the Los Angeles Zoo, the Los Angeles World Airports, Autry National Center, Automobile Club of Southern California and CalTrans.
To demonstrate continuing commitment to a “greener” LA, the Holiday Light Festival will be a pedestrian only and “vehicle free” event from December 4 through December 17. Visitors may park at the L.A. Zoo parking lot. Parking will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Walkers are encouraged to wear comfortable shoes and to dress warmly to walk the full one-mile route each way. It is also recommended that walkers have outerwear, as it can get chilly. I have conducted many Los Angeles van tours, highlighting festival!
Tree Lighting Event
The stunning and elegant fir has traveled from the amazing landscape of McLeod, California in the Shasta region, brought in by Victor’s Custom Christmas Trees, and is 110 feet tall, will glow with 15,000 sparkling lights and will feature more than 10,000 ornaments.
The annual selection of the white fir tree is very important. Only a tree that is 80 years or older is chosen because it is near the end of the white fir’s grand life cycle. After the holidays the tree will be used for mulch; and 14 new white firs will be planted in its place. You if you are going to tour Los Angeles or you live here and you are looking for something fun to do on a Thursday, check it out @ 7:30pm Thursday November 19, 2009 @ Americana at Brand in Glendale California.
Last year the tree lighting event drew enormous crowds…….so I would suggest getting there early for dinner and/or a movie prior!
Cirque du Soleil / Kooza in Santa Monica
KOOZA is a return to the origins of Cirque du Soleil and runs in Santa Monica from October 16th to November 29th 2009! KOOZA tells the story of The Innocent, a melancholy loner in search of his place in the world. 
It combines two circus traditions Рacrobatic performance and the art of clowning. The show highlights the physical demands of human performance in all its splendor and fragility, presented in a colorful m̩lange that emphasizes bold slapstick humor.
The Innocent’s journey brings him into contact with a panoply of comic characters such as the King, the Trickster, the Pickpocket, and the Obnoxious Tourist and his Bad Dog.
Between strength and fragility, laughter and smiles, turmoil and harmony, KOOZA explores themes of fear, identity, recognition and power. Perfect t0o include after a Hollywood tour, the show is set in an electrifying and exotic visual world full of surprises, thrills, chills, audacity and total involvement.
